Chapter 208: When it’s time to admit defeat, you have to admit defeat
Although the Zhonghu Army did not take first place, Lan'an attracted the attention of people from all walks of life.
Jun Ci was not afraid of them poaching or investigating Lan An. She had just brought Lan An back, so the arrangements were naturally made.
Today's martial arts competition, after two rounds and four rounds, was getting dark. They naturally went to the designated camps to set up camp. His Majesty returned to the palace and appointed Jun Ci and Jun Biao to escort him. Yuan You was praising the army all the way, because
With Zhou Rong and others also watching, he did not ask whether the Central Guards Army could achieve another great result, but in his words he was particularly surprised and pleased that the Central Guards Army had a new look, and he had high expectations for the Central Guards Army's next martial arts competition.
When Jun Ci returned, the Central Guards were even more jubilant, because she used her own money to order the best restaurants in the capital, buy banquets, and send them to reward all the soldiers who participated in the martial arts competition.
"Captain Jun is so generous. He can take dozens of dollars at will. Is this an early celebration of his victory in the martial arts competition?" Before Jun Ci even raised his feet to head towards his camp, he met Pang Wei and his companions.
Ge Jian, Ge Jian is still in a weird mood.
Jun Ci clasped his fists perfunctorily: "Pang Duwei, Ge Duwei."
Pang Wei had no objection to Jun Ci and responded politely: "Jun Duwei."
"Have you two captains eaten? If not, you can have a meal with me if you don't mind." Jun Ci said with a smile, "I only have one daughter, and I will never be restrained in terms of money. The banquet is early
So I made a decision, and it has nothing to do with their victory or defeat today. It’s just that I am young and greedy, so I can’t be alone. There are many people in the army, and there is no money to spend money. Here there are few people, and the martial arts competition does not matter whether I win or lose, I will participate.
Among them is serving the army and should be rewarded.
I happened to meet two captains, and it is better to enjoy it alone than to enjoy it together. Can you please give me a compliment?"
Reward for face?
Ge Jian wants to show off!
Since Jun Ci is so grand and the leaders are rich, Zhou Rong will naturally not let them be compared with Jun Ci.
The people in the two armies suffered the most. They were sandwiched between the central leader and the central guard. The aroma was so intense that they couldn't eat and complained in their hearts.
They, the commander-in-chief, had no choice but to stay away. They didn't expect to meet Jun Ci, who shamelessly invited them. If they really went, what would their subordinates think?
"Captain Jun is so kind that we shouldn't reject him. However, the Central Guards Army won a great victory today. Commander Jun is celebrating with all the soldiers, so we can't bother him." Pang Wei had a gentle attitude and spoke very kindly.
Ge Jian snorted lightly and said nothing.
"What Lieutenant Pang said is absolutely true. I will host you another day and invite the two captains to get together." Jun Ci bowed his hand and left.
When the crimson figure disappeared from sight, Ge Jian sneered and said: "Young girl, are you so polite to her because you are afraid of her?"
Pang Wei lowered his eyes and glanced at Ge Jian, then walked in the other direction: "She is a little girl, but she can lead His Majesty through the desert without getting hurt. I don't think I have this ability. She can make people careless and careless."
Ji's Central Guard Army changed its appearance in just six months, but I don't think I have such ability. I have great respect for those who are capable, no matter their age."
Jun Ci's ears and eyesight were far better than ordinary people's. Even though Ge Jian could no longer see her clearly, she could still hear their voices. Pang Wei's words made her raise her eyebrows.
"General, you are finally back. If you don't come back, their harrassers will almost drown these delicacies." Jun Ci's figure appeared in the eyes of everyone in the firelight, and Qin Xiao hurriedly came up to meet him.
Jun Ci had a slight smile on his face: "What are you waiting for me to do? Eat, just leave me a bottle of wine."
"Of course the wine should be reserved for the general!" Someone came to Jun Ci holding the wine jar, smiling flatteringly.
Jun Ci took it and tore off the seal of the jar. Someone happened to hand over a big bowl. She poured a glass and then handed the jar to others. The people who took the jar quickly filled it up one by one, and there were others.
He also helped pour the wine, and soon everyone had a glass of wine.
Jun Ci stood in the middle, surrounded by everyone. She raised her hands and said, "Drink a drink with you, for today and for the future. Today's victory is an unexpected joy. No matter what happens tomorrow, just do your best. I will be with you."
Let’s all encourage each other.”
"Let's encourage the general." Qin Xiao took the lead, and the others also shouted in unison.
Everyone drank a bowl of wine with happy faces, and the atmosphere became harmonious. Jun Ci casually found a place to sit down casually. She didn't pay much attention to it, and the others just took it easy. Although the evening meal was a bit late, everyone ate.
Be satisfied.
After eating, Jun Ci called Yang Ze and others aside alone and said to them: "Tomorrow we will compete in fists, kicks and weapons. Each army is an elite soldier. Today I saw that their physique, steps and martial arts are all good.
Three days of martial arts competition. Today we are in the limelight, but tomorrow we will definitely be in trouble. You guys need to be vigilant at all times. If the situation is unfavorable, there is no shame in admitting defeat."
Everyone's expressions froze, they never expected that Jun Ci would make them admit defeat!
Everyone's face turned red, and they even had uncontrollable scowl on their faces.
Sighing softly, Jun Ci said: "You are my subordinates, so in my eyes, you are naturally the first-class brave and iron-blooded good men. But there are others in this world, and even I don't think that I am the most brave in the world.
person.
I am not asking you to lose on purpose, but when you are defeated, recognize yourself clearly, dare to admit that you are defeated, and be open-minded.
Only when people admit their shortcomings can they make up for them.
If you know you are inadequate and still don't want to admit it, what's the point of trying to hold on?"
Today, the Central Guards Army is showing its sharpness, but tomorrow the martial arts competition will be its weak point. Many of the disciples in riding and shooting have military backgrounds, but practicing martial arts requires hard work and diligence. It is not that these people do not have martial arts masters, but they are all idle and unworkable people.
In fact, not many people are good at boxing and kicking skills.
As for the people brought back from Qinling Village, she only arranged for Lan An. In order to make Lan An famous today, when the crossbow cavalry is formed in the future, Lan An can take over smoothly to convince the public as quickly as possible. The others were not brought in.
Unparalleled once, including the Yunji brothers.
Although they are people trained by He Lanjing in the military, they are still half wild, and their boxing skills are far from those of orthodox military backgrounds. They will be seen through by Pang Wei and others as soon as they come on the field. Jun Ci will not
Take the risk.
Tomorrow's competition will be extremely bad, and the Central Guards Army will not get a good ranking.
Jun Ci doesn't care much about the ranking. What she is worried about is that the Zhongwei Army and the Zhongzhen Army, who were overshadowed by them today, will fight fiercely in the martial arts field tomorrow. As long as the martial arts competition is not knocked down, as long as one side does not admit defeat, they can continue.
Keep going.
They were afraid that today's scenery would make them think too deeply, thinking that losing would be a drag on the entire army, and they refused to end the competition, so that they would be beaten and suffer in vain.
"General, I don't want you to be injured in vain." Qin Xiao explained to Jun Ci.
